Elvis on fb today about Jim Bessman: "The Imposters and I so valued Jim’s friendship and generous support. We will miss seeing him at our next show in his neighbourhood. When we finally return to his hometown of Madison, later this year, you can be sure Jim will be in our thoughts." Looks ...

Could this be a one-off? Or a warming up for a recording session?

It could turn out to a live recording session es well. Who knows what they have been up to the last few months???? Lots of new songs!!! Who knows?

Not the Woodins shades anymore???? Stunned! Shocked!

"....... but I would pay far more to see new songs played live, and that is the reality. ...... So when shows are advertised there is far more interest and excitement, than in an album that may be months or years away." Exactly! Kansas City is a bit far away, but count me in if there are a...

This is really great news. I really hope this is not just a one off thing.

What no dates in Sweden ??!!

Negotiations are - of course - ongoing

The E.P. - which features contributions from Iggy Pop, Isabelle Adjani and Tshegue - will be released digitally on March 26th and on vinyl this summer by Concord Records.

interesting indeed - coloured vinyl maybe? How many versions?

It finally ended up here in Sweden as well. Thanks to new political situation, there was an added customs fee for the package as well. (€15 if you´re interested). Will not buy records from UK from now on.
Looks and sounds interesting. Will play it tonight.

Thanks for sharing sulky!

I just got an email from Qrates that the package has been shipped. It is slowly getting exciting.....

I think this post needs to be removed......

Based on nothing more than a hunch, I'm guessing that the full-band version will eve...

It's that time of year when you look back at what's been occurring and look forward to things shiny and bright. 2020 has been pretty s**t on lots of levels. However, a constant source of joy I have found over the past 12 months has been the virtual friendship emanating from this Board. There have b...

Imagine what party we in the audience will have!! The sooner the better.
